Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Arrington was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2008 before landing on Tampa Bay’s practice squad. He played in the team’s 2009 season opener, but the Buccaneers waived him the following day.

New England Patriots

Arrington, a strong, physical corner (listed at 5-foot-10, 190 lbs.), has risen quickly up the depth chart in New England, jumping from practice squad body to the 53-man roster in less than a year. Arrington took over the starting cornerback job after Week 2 in 2010 and has been a big-time presence ever since, whether in a nickel or starting role. Arrington’s breakout season was 2011, when he sniped seven balls for 92 yards. He also has three career fumble recoveries to go along with nine interceptions.
